The character is from the Illuskan region of the FR campaign, but I have nothing past that. Any help would be of tremendous enjoyment for the rest of my gaming group. Thanks Elvnsword PS usaully not a problem for me but I seem to have a major writers block :weep:

Why, because you started life as a slave, a boisterous head strong slave who refused to be broken. Constantly in chains for you troubles they have become as much a part of you as your skin. Perhaps you still wear a manacle or two to remind your self of what you are free from. Go from there if you like it. try the link in my sig. it might help. Harrow Blade

The leader of the invaders is a strong hobgoblin using a Spiked Chain to trip, disarm and torture all the villagers he meets. Your father, a brave militian, charge him. Like the other ones before him, he is tripped, disarmed, tortured and finally killed before your eyes. But it was enough for the other militian to gather a few bows, and kill the leader from a distance. After this, your father is an hero; the spiked chain is kept at the local Tempus temple. You are sad to have lost your father. But you are somewhat obsessed with the chain fighter, and you feel guilty about this because it's the weapon that killed your father. The local cleric of Tempus remarks your trouble, and tell you the spiked chain is not evil, only the hobgoblin who used it was evil. He gives you the spiked chain and you begin to train with it. You soon left the village to hunt down goblins, to avenge your father.

I am using it now to flesh out Zax as a former slave gladiator, expect a post later on with the complete info. Elvnsword PS: the idea rocks Harrowblade, and I liked the guilt aspect of the other.

(You can still be a pretty girl) You mastered the art of the ribon. You've learned how to tie things up with it and do all sorts of tricks. Now war starts or for some reason your just bored and feel the ned to go adventuring to enjoy life. You realize your going to have to fight and just don't feel conftorable with a sword, trying and attempting you just feel like a cluts and it's unattural for you. You don't have to precise, control, and range your use. You decide to look for a weapon with that premis...and walla...the spiked chain fits the build and you can fight with it with the grace and style you've learned in gymnastics. You out of all people know that someone who is down on the ground is in a world of hurting. :-P
